First of all.... GREENBAY IS GOING TO THE SUPERBOWL!!!! Haha, I just finished watching that game, and it was a good one! I'm pretty excited about that!!!!
Now that I've shared with you my excitement, we'll get onto business ;)
Everything seems to be going pretty well. We are moved into our cute little townhome. We've been there for about two weeks now. Kimmy is living with us. She was staying with my parents and didn't have a bedroom or anything, because she had come unexpectedly. So we offered for her to stay with us. As far as that goes, it has been pretty good. Ummm... I still don't have a job. I applied for a bunch of them last week, so I am hoping to hear from somone this week. The only think that kind of sucks about finding a job is that it is hard to find a full-time job out here! Everything I have found so far is just part time. But that's still better than nothing! I am bored out of my mind these days! I need something to get me out of the house!
I have officially started my wedding planning! We bought a wedding dress last week! My mom, Kimmy and I went in just to look, and I tried on like 8 of them... But when we found the right one, we had to get it. It is SO beautiful and I can't wait to put it on again! As far as the rest of the planning goes, my mom, Kristin and I looked at a few reception centers yesterday. It was kind of a spur of the moment thing, so we only looked at like 3 of them. We will be going back down to Salt Lake in two weeks, and we will look at more. We'll have to dedicate a whole day to it, and actually make appointments this time, lol ... I think this will be one of the hardest decisions for me. Just because it is a BIG thing, and it is quite pricey :-/ .... I, honestly, think the rest of it will be easy for me, but just because this is the biggest chunk of our budget, I think I will have a hard time with it. And it was kind of hard to look without Chris. I was in Salt Lake for Kyleigh's birthday party, and he had to work so he couldn't go. I don't think I can officially make this decision without his input, mainly because it is the one thing he has showed interest in. So I think I will just have to go look without him, weed out the ones I don't like, then we'll go on one of his days off and look through the ones that I liked the first time around. It will be hard, because someone could reserve that day before we get him down there... It's a pretty popular month for weddings. So we'll just have to see. But I am happy that we have started the planning. It's been 3 months since we got engaged, and we're just now starting. But we still have a little over 4 months to plan, wow, that's not very long at all! Lol. We'll figure it out.
That's crazy that my wedding is that close! It's a day that I have thought about for such a long time, and it always seemed so far away. Now, to think it is only 4 months away, and we still have A LOT of planning to do to get there... It will go by super fast because we will be busy. That is just weird. Before I know it I will be Kelli Hurst :) Awe, that makes me smile! :-D I can't wait!
Kyleigh is 9 years old now! It's crazy to me how fast time goes by. It seems like just last week that she was coming home from the hospital. We went down to Salt Lake and had a birthday party for her at Incredible Pizza. It was lots of fun!
I stayed with Kristin that night, it was good to see them! I got to see Addy, she is also growing up so fast! It literally seems like yesterday that Kristin found out that she was pregnant. Now Addy is running around and starting to talk... Wow. That kid has such a cute little personality already! She is so much fun, and so freakin cute! It amazes me.... And makes me baby hungry... BAD!
Chris and I have talked about it, and we both want a baby. We are thinking we will start trying soon after the wedding. Nothing is set in stone yet, but as of right now, that is probably what will happen. It also depends on how fast I can get a job. I would like to find one ASAP and put all of my paychecks toward debt. That way when we do have a baby, I will be able to stay home for sure. Chris can afford all the bills with just his paycheck now, but there are so many things you have to buy for a baby, and so many unexpected things, I would like to pay some debt off first... Just to be safe. I just think it would be awesome to be able to stay home with a little one :)
Hopefully I will post more soon, I don't have internet yet, and all the neighbors have passwords on theirs LOL... So I don't know when it will be.
GO PACKERS!!!

It all seems to be coming together.
I have been in Vernal for about a week now. Chris and I are still staying at my parents... I love my family to death, but I am ready to get out of here! I got used to my own space, my peace and quiet, and I just feel like I'm intruding here... I know I am welcome, but it is still hard... The good news is we found a place to live! We spent a couple of days driving around looking at places, and spent a day walking through a few places.
We first walked through the month to month apartments, they were ok, but the only one that was available now wasn't pet friendly. So we kept looking. We found another apartment complex, really nice, but a little pricey. Then we found a town-home, walked through it, but it had the smallest living room I'd ever seen. It was ridiculous! So the lady said she had another with a bigger living room... It is 2 bed, 2 1/2 bath, and the best part..... a garage! WOO! That makes me happy! Haha, but we walked through it yesterday, it's not as nice as the apartments we looked at before, but it is nice enough for me. Plus, it has a garage! So we paid our deposit and everything today, we get our keys Friday, and pick up the moving truck back in Salt Lake on Saturday... The lady who was supposed to take over our lease is following through.... Everything I was worried about is coming together!
Defenitly not without frustration though... I officially quit smoking... I didn't really plan for a "New Year's Resolution" but it kind of happened that way. I had told myself that when I get to Vernal, I will be done. So I finished the pack I had on New Year's Day, and haven't had any since. It was easier than I thought for the first couple of days, but it has had its rough parts too. I have been pretty irritable today. I kind of feel bad for everyone, lol... I am proud of myself though, and I am going to stick it out... I have wanted to give in a couple of times, but I'm not going to let myself do it. I'm gonna stay strong!
Chris is still liking the job. He has to go back to some classroom training this week, but it will work well with our moving plans... Then next week he will do graves, then I think he's out on his own after that. Which he is pretty excited about!
Now I just need to find a job, and all will be well. Getting this all to come together was easier than I thought it would be... So hopefully finding a job will be the same story. Wish me luck!
